    Windows Store does not Detect all Storage Options

    Hello,

    When installing games on the Windows Store one of my hard drives is not listed as a possible install directory.

    The drive is seen in My Computer as well as Disk Management, but not in "Local Storage" in "Storage" under Windows 10's settings.

    Only SSD and M.2 drives are shown.

    Is there any way to point Windows Store to the HDD drive directly or can it just not see the older hardware?

    Thanks,

    ~ Jason

    Cannot change install location of apps in Windows 10

    i have an issue where i can see the drive to change it to, but changing does nothing, tried everything, even reinstalling windows over to fix any issues, currently running windows 10 ver. 1607. it is very frustrating. i can only install games to my c:
    drive and i want them on another hdd with my other games.
